Invoice channels and requirements

How to submit an invoice

Invoices to ExxonMobil are accepted in different forms. 

For services and purchase orders via GEP Service Confirmation or Self-Billing / Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS):

Email invoices

Invoices may be submitted via the e-mail address listed in the payables supplier kits (see below). 

  • Note that email addresses may differ depending on the affiliate/country where you are sending the invoice.
  • These e-mail addresses are used only to receive invoices; other inquiries sent to these mailboxes will not be monitored. 

You can check payment status or submit payment-related questions via the GEP Payment Status Tool at www.payment-advice.com

Important:
  • Send only one invoice per e-mail. Any support documentation that you need to send with the invoice should be a separate file named Attachment.
  • Invoice must not be encrypted or require a password to access. Special instructions submitted in the e-mail will not be monitored.
  • Invoices must comply with the minimum invoice requirements described below. Invoices with missing or incorrect information may be returned to the supplier.
  • When submitting invoices from purchase orders, it is recommended to submit a separate invoice for each purchase order to support fast and accurate payment processing.
  • To submit invoices to ExxonMobil, you must have a vendor account. Please ask your ExxonMobil contact to ensure your account is created and up to date prior to submitting invoices
